As you may know from a previous post, I love to play poker. Earlier this year, Gamemaster and I took a trip to Tunica for some action, where I experienced slots, three-card poker, and some of the finest buffets you can eat at! I spent a total of $120, all stemming from a tournament entry fee, $20 at the slots (yuck), and several buffets.
So today, I heard a guy I work with loves to go to the casino every week. Every week? I had to find him and know more.
When I asked how sick a degenerate gambler he was, he revealed:
He is a member of the Beau Rivage gamblers club. Every time he goes there, they give him a near penthouse quality suite, free meals, free tickets to any show, and $200 to play with. But how did he become such a revered, honored member of this esteemed club of degens?
He wanted to know, too. So he asked the cashier to pull up his membership numbers for last year.
He gambled and lost $234,000 over the last year.
Luckily, he won $233,000 :)
You can read some sick gambling stories here, by the man who has been gambling and winning longer than most of us have been alive: Doyle Brunson.
